re: Choosing an NHL team to follow (STL Blues, it is - questions on pg. 7)

I'm pretty sure they were the youngest team in the league last year and will continue to rise with Jarmo and John Davidson at the helm. There's so much young talent in their system that it's scary.

That's a good point, as well. We just won the Prospects Tournament in Traverse City (eight NHL teams sent their prospects to it. We beat the Stars in the championship) and had THREE first-round picks in 2013 (none of whom made the big club last year, but all three have at least a shot this year, although they'll likely spend most of their time in the AHL). So it's not like we were the youngest team in the NHL last year with no prospects in the system. We were the youngest AND have some really, really good talent on the farm. It's pretty awesome.

ETA: I'd like for us to get things settled with your avatar, though.
